Occupy Wall Street costing jobs

The owner of Milk Street Cafe at 40 Wall Street has let go 21 employees because barricades and other protective measures associated with the protests during the last seven weeks have cut so much into its business that Owner Mark Epstein says he can no longer afford payroll.

Epstein said in the CBS story that this is the first time in 30-years that he ever had to lay anyone off.

Epstein also blamed city officials as much as the protesters because of the city’s inaction.

But leads to the question, if the employees he laid off want to protest, do they protest him, the city or the protesters? And will they wear Guy Fawkes masks if they do?
